From August 17 to August 31, total XRP futures open interest fell by 16%, dropping from 2.77 billion to about 2.34 billion tokens, even as XRP's price surged nearly 40% from $0.99 to $1.38.

Meanwhile, leveraged funds doubled their net-short exposure to approximately 116 million XRP, though this may reflect hedging rather than bearish bets. This divergence suggests that the XRP price rally was not driven by increased futures market participation overall but rather a shift in exposure toward CME.
